My parents split up when I was in my 20s. They both moved out of the house I had grown up in. My girlfriend and I stayed and rented it from my dad, planning to buy it from him as soon as we were financially stable enough to get a loan.

Fast forward a few years to me having a well-paying job and my girlfriend almost being done with university. Things were looking really good. On my 30th birthday, my dad abd his new wife suddenly started pestering us about the house being too big, too expensive, too whatever for us to the point of ruining the whole evening. A week later I got a letter from him, telling me I had six months to get the money or get out, strongly suggesting the latter. Never even got a reason.

I wrote most of my Bachelor’s thesis and parts of my Master’s thesis to nothing but Watch the Skies from Skyrim on loop.

The actual recommended solution is to just read in a loop until you have everything.

Note that this isn’t specific to Go. Reading from stream-like data, be it TCP connections, files or whatever always comes with the risk that not all data is present in the local buffer yet. The vast majority of read operations returns the number of bytes that could be read and you should call them in a loop. Same of write operations actually, if you’re writing to a stream-like object as the write buffers may be smaller than what you’re trying to write.

As far as I know, ActivityPub only applies to server to server communication. Still, many applications that implement ActivityPub (for example Mastodon) do use push notifications for their clients.

One more difference is that RSS is polling based, meaning that subscribers have to actively ask every hour or so if thre is new content.

On the other hand, ActivityPub knows who is subscribed and can actively distribute new content to other servers who can in turn send push messages to their users, letting you know about new content within seconds.

Looks exactly like Visual Studio 2022.

I guess the joke implies that automated (or incorrect manual) conflict resolution causes code that doesn’t compile. But still not git’s fault. They should probably have merged earlier and in rare cases where that wasn’t possible, you have to bite the bullet and fix this stuff.

Sprachspaßwort sounds like something straight out of a law or industry standard which I guess that makes it heterological.

Orphan Black if you like mystery

Filezilla itself is not the problem. Deploying to production by hand is. Everything you do manually is a potential for mistakes. Forget to upload a critical file, accidentally overwrite a configuration… better automate that stuff.

Can confirm that it doesn’t load on iOS but loads fine on desktop.

Same in Germany

Wrong community. This is for open ended questions and discussion, not for asking for help.

A better place

The most interesting thing is that he wasn’t the only one. A guy who called himself Victor Lustig did the same thing with the Eiffel Tower.

I just made it 62.

The bakery down the road from where I grew up used to hold the Guinness world record for the largest version of a local specialty.

I’d finally finish some of my personal projects.

Over the last few years, I’ve had so many ideas for stuff, both video games and just basic useful software. This is where the curse of being a professional software engineer kicks in. I know that I’m experienced enough to actually make those things but after a full day of work, preparing dinner and getting the apartment in order, there is just not enough time and energy left to get my ass in front of an IDE again. I’d love to have the opportunity, even if just for a year or so to pause my day job and spend my energy on something that is actually mine and has emotional value for me.

On top of that, I have a couple of hobbies that would benefit from having more time. Photography, HEMA (fencing with proper swords), board games, 3d printing and painting miniatures… one thing is for sure, I wouldn’t get bored any time soon.

My first OS was most likely DR DOS 3.41

For my daily driver desktop PCs that was followed by

• MS-DOS 5.0
• Windows 3.11
• Windows 98 SE
• Windows XP
• Windows 7
• Windows 10

On the linux side, I got started with Gentoo, experimented with several lightweight distributions for an old laptop and had a Mint VM for a few years. These days I run Ubuntu on a couple of servers and in WSL. Never got around to using it as my main desktop OS.

For university I had (in order) an iBook G3, a MacBook and a MacBook Pro, so you can add most of macOS 10.x to that list.
